Freshman Tory Parravi gets her third straight singles victory, but LMU fails to win another set in singles.

LOS ANGELES -- After a successful weekend in northern California, the Lions returned to the LMU Tennis Center to begin a difficult home stand against 34th-ranked Saint Mary's. The Gaels proved too strong as No. 34 Saint Mary's (12-5, 5-0 WCC) defeated the Lions, 6-1, with wins in straight sets in five of six singles matches, the only exception being LMU's (5-12, 2-2) lone point.

Freshman Tory Parravi continued her impressive campaign by getting her third consecutive victory in singles. The win, Parravi's first in #1 singles, was her seventh in her last nine matches.

Despite the fact that the team did not win the doubles point, head coach Jamie Sanchez thought the team performed well. "We played very, very good doubles today," said Sanchez, "we just didn't `turn the corner'."

The round first concluded at #1 doubles as Ashley Anderson and Tory Parravi fell to Juillen and Frampton, 8-5. The Gaels wrapped up the point at court two as Isip and Chkikvishvili defeated Elisveta Pironkova and Reka Rohonyi, 9-7. Pironkova and Rohonyi fought back after falling behind 7-4 to tie the match at 7-7, but they were unable to make the full comeback. Despite the fact that the round slipped away, Claudia Razzeto and Logan Finnell battled back on court three for an 8-5 victory.
